No. He's angry about g4mhook and sometimes thinks he regrets his contribution to the modding community.

If your on Vista, run SparkIV with admin. If you have XP, make sure the file isn't set to read only.

[mkey82]

Unrelated to current discussion, but I have a small question - what kind of compression does the game use for music? I see when Spark decompresses it it's 32kHz PCM, but those files in archives are compressed with something else. What?

[DerPlaya78]

on pc: intel/dvi adpcm... look at the source.
xbox360: xma1/2?
ps3: ???

[mkey82]

Thanks.

So only 4:1 compression ratio? And 32kHz? Why did they choose such format, what's wrong with ogg which will give you 12:1 easy and without any downsampling?

[DerPlaya78]

it's not all 32kHz, some are 44, 22 or 11.
why adpcm? => only guessing:

1. decoding is very fast on pc (on consoles it's handled by dsp (xbox xma)).
2. space is not a concern with hdd installation
3. headerless apdcm is easier to hide (harder to rip)
...

Can't i use this with the 1.0.4.0 patch?
Because it tells me my IV.exe is not supported. And no, it's not cracked.

HI! Can you help me, how to edit non opening-non embed wdr-s and wtf-s? - Just if you could not noticed this asking...

[ZiniCall]

I got a problem with the new(and old) version of sparkiv. when I try to start it, it says that it stopped working. got vista 64bit, and tried to run as admin. this happend after I reinstalled it cuz I messed my backup up.

Got any ide? feel free to reply

Edit: fixed the problem by removing all "mod" files from my folder. they did that my "real" launcher (bought it on steam) didn't work. so sparkiv couldn't work..

[Threepwood]

I have another problem.

I have imported now several cars, the supra, the BMW M3, and trying to get the latest ingame, for example the DAF truck as packer or the Brabus Benz as schafter. All files are named correctly, no caps mistype or else. I open vehicles,.img, hit import, save->rebuild and repeat that with rebuild->save, but its a game of lauck if it appears ingame or not. The DAF took 4 times of import tryouts, on the fourth it went ingame, but the schafter still does not.

Experienced on SparkIV 6.2 and 6.2.2. Is it supposed to work only sometimes, or is this just a beta-issue which we have to live with until its final?

[gamerzworld]

Aru gave me committer permissions on the Google Code project page last night. I've updated the source code to reflect the current edits. I've also updated SparkIV to ask for administrator on Vista and 7.

Here's a new version of SparkIV.
New version: SparkIV 0.6.3
